Solar Roof Tile Manufacturers

Solar roof tiles

Solar roof tiles take on the benefits of solar panels but give those who find solar panels unattractive an opportunity to generate free renewable solar energy. Solar roof tiles are installed as a seamless part of the roof, almost indistinguishable from standard roof tiles.

但是是否有可能在英国找到太阳瓦瓦片?我们已经研究了一些领先的太阳能瓦制造商,以了解您的选择。

What are solar roof tiles?

Simply put, there are 3 options when installing solar technology on your home: on-roof, in-roof or complete roof.

  • 屋顶是英国最常见的,即安装在框架上的框架上的面板。
  • In-roof (a.k.a integrated solar) replaces a section of the roof so that the panels sit flush with the roof’s structure and are less visually obvious.
  • 完整的太阳能屋顶涉及由标准瓷砖和太阳能瓦的组合组成的全新屋顶。

Solar roof tiles are small solar PV panels which absorb sunlight and generate electricity in exactly the same way. The key difference is that they look and perform just like normal roof tiles.

The ratio of solar tile to standard tile depends how much power you need your solar roof to generate, but viewed from street level there should be very little visual difference between the 2 types of tile. Solar roofs can be installed as part of new builds or a roof replacement, but not integrated into existing roofs. Solar roof tiles are more widely available in the US but there are some options for UK homeowners looking for more attractive solar for their home.

特斯拉屋顶:需要考虑的事情

Cost is likely to be a barrier to many when it comes to the Tesla roof. On their website they give an example of a installing a solar roof on a typical home in Maryland at around $52,000. They have also outlined plans to offer financing in the U.S which should mean this option may also be available in the UK at some point.

GB Sol.Solar Roof: Things to Consider

由于这些板岩是完整的屋顶替换,因此安装有一些限制。它们不适合瓷砖屋顶,并且需要安装在最小斜率为22°的屋顶上,尽管在30°以上是理想的。目前只有一个自然蓝色设计,虽然它们适合较为黑屋顶,因为它们会随着时间的推移而变暗。

Solarcentury太阳能瓦瓦片

注意:目前正在审查SolarCentury Solar Room Tiles。

英国公司SolarCentury用于提供一系列叫做C21E的太阳能瓷砖,但这些目前不在市场上。目前,他们与宜家合作提供了外滩屋顶综合+。在该系统中,安装了8个太阳能电池板,以便与现有的屋顶齐平,以获得更“无缝”效果。

特斯拉和GB SOL太阳能瓦的价格是多少?

The cost of replacing your roof with solar tiles will depend on the size of your roof, the complexity of the installation and the ratio of solar tiles to non-solar tiles. It’s particularly difficult to estimate the cost of a Tesla solar roof as there have been no installations in the UK as yet and the Tesla website doesn’t give any detail.

普遍认为,太阳能瓷砖比标准太阳能电池板更昂贵,并且它们在发电时不高效,而是对于具有限制规划许可或对太阳能电池板美学的担忧的建筑物。
